This is a typeface work designed for the Faraday Monument. Produced using Glyphs and working smoothly, it also has built-in CCMP composite font features.

The Faraday Monument is located in the centre of the Elephant and Castle area of London, near Faraday's birthplace. The monument is a huge rectangular shape, and inside it is the substation for the area's tube. It is so large that it alsocarries the use of a notice board, but with no visible signage, most people do notknow its name or significance. After trying to use the simplifed shape of the building as the main element andthe irregular reflective shapes of the surface, it was finally decided to use thesquare grid of the building facade as the grid of the typeface for the modular typeface design.
